Babbs Mill Prince's

OFFICIAL Fundraising.

Our hearts are broken for the four Little Princes.

On Sunday, 11th December 2022, a group of children played in a local park near an open lake. Being children and adventurous, they forgot the dangers taught by their parents and risked going onto the icy lake.

Four boys fell through the ice and into the lake. The frantic father of one of the lads and a dog walker entered the lake to try and help the boys.

The emergency and rescue services arrived promptly and began the rescue.

Sadly, Jack, aged 10, and Thomas, aged 11, lost their lives on Sunday, 11th December 2022.

Finlay, aged 8, passed away in the early hours of the morning on Monday, 12th December 2022

Samuel, aged 6 (younger brother of Finlay), remained in critical condition until Wednesday, 14th December 2022, when sadly, he gave up his fight and gained his wings.

Jack Johnson sadly passed away after falling in, bravely trying to help the other children.

No parent expects to lose their children so young, and sadly, no amount of money would ever place them back in their parents' arms. But with our help, we can hopefully ease the worry of the financial costs they will need to meet.

This tragedy is heartbreaking, has brought a community together, and has affected people's hearts worldwide. Condolences go out to all three families and their relatives.

This page is the OFFICIAL fundraising page for all four boys who tragically fell into Babbs Mill lake Solihull UK and gained their wings.

Funds raised will be visible on the page. Every penny, when given to the parents, will be proven.

The authorisation has been given by the parents concerned.
